Ross Shop Mobility now open
We’ve talked about it, you’ve read about it, now the new Ross Shop Mobility is open! The scheme started operations on 3rd July. The project is operating from the Scout and Guide hut in Red Meadow Car Park, next to the Ross-on-Wye Swimming pool.
The service opens Tuesday to Saturday 10 am until 4 pm. This is a free service to people that need it (we do ask for a donation to help sponsor the scheme). The only other things we ask are that you fill out a registration form, take a short driving test and enjoy the shop mobility experience. This will mean a more productive summer for some local people and visitors to Ross that have limited mobility.
New EnviroAbility staff, Ivan and Victoria will operate the scheme and Beverly Humble, a local Occupational Therapist (& Dennis Humble’s wife) , kindly helped us to design the driving test
Financial support for the project is being provided by Advantage West Midlands, Market Towns Initiative, Eveson Charitable Trust and Herefordshire Council. Partners in Ross Shop Mobility project include: Age Concern Ross & District Community First – Access to Services Partnership; The Ross Lions; Herefordshire Council; Ross Partnership; Herefordshire Voluntary Action; Ross Town Council and WRVS Transport Links.
Please call Martin and Robyn at EnviroAbility on 01989 760919 to find out how you book a scooter, or just turn-up to talk to Ivan and Victoria.
